It is unknown what the purpose of the factory is, although it has been confirmed that this factory is neither the Jawbreaker Factory nor the Lemon Brook Gag Factory. The electric cable lines that spawn from the factory suggest that this is where the town gets its electricity from, thus implying that the factory could be some sort of power plant.

There's a crane equipped with a wrecking ball standing in front of the factory, as seen in "Dawn of the Eds," so the plant may have some relation to the Construction Site or the junkyard.
